In 2013 the AMPS readership survey put its average daily readership above one million (1,049,000, AMPS, 2013), with its Saturday and Sunday editions reaching 523,000 and 704,000 readers in the same release. Durban accounts for just under half of its daily sales, and 37% of readers were recorded in the city in the 2013 AMPS results, which makes it a strong vehicle for a focused KwaZulu-Natal campaign. ### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience** - **Daily readership.** 1,049,000 average daily readers (AMPS, 2013), an older figure that shows the scale of the title. - **Weekend readership.** 523,000 readers for the Saturday edition and 704,000 for the Sunday edition (AMPS, 2013). - **Durban base.** 37% of readers were in Durban (AMPS, 2013), with just under half of daily sales coming from the city. - **Reader profile.** isiZulu-speaking professionals, small business people and families who follow news, property and personal finance. ### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place** Use Isolezwe when the target is isiZulu-speaking decision makers in KwaZulu-Natal. Weekday print suits financial services, banking and telecoms, while the Saturday and Sunday editions suit property, vehicles, education and premium household brands. Pair print with the website so the message follows readers through the day, and add English-language titles in the same market for readers who prefer English. Our expert team at Masscom Global handles the sequencing and creative adaptation. ### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here** Isolezwe is the main daily for isiZulu readers, and for premium brands, banks, insurers, property developers and investment houses it opens a growing professional audience that English-language titles speak to less directly. Messages in a reader's first language are read with more attention and more trust. **How we would use it.** Our team would combine print display on weekdays with the website, and use the weekend editions for property, financial services and premium lifestyle messages. Creative works best in isiZulu, with English versions available for selected sections. **Our guidance.** We plan the language, edition and section mix around your brief, so the creative reads naturally to isiZulu-speaking professionals and the budget sits where your target reader is most engaged. ### **How We Would Run Your Isolezwe Campaign** We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that. The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted for isiZulu creative; English available, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run. --- ## **Where Can Your Brand Appear in Isolezwe?** - **Print display.** Display advertising in the isiZulu daily, Monday to Friday. - **Weekend editions.** Saturday and Sunday editions suited to property, vehicles and premium lifestyle messages. - **Website.** Placements on isolezwe.co.za planned alongside print. - **Creative adaptation.** isiZulu translation and adaptation of your campaign, with English available.
